  • Metasomatism and the Chemical Transformation of Rock

    The Role of Fluids in Terrestrial and Extraterrestrial Processes

    by Daniel Harlov, Hakon Austrheim ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Fluid-aided mass transfer and subsequent mineral re-equilibration are the two defining features of metasomatism and must be present in order for metamorphism to occur. Coupled with igneous and tectonic processes, metasomatism has played a major role in the formation of the Earth’s continental and oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle as well as in their evolution and subsequent stabilization. ...

  • Physical Soil Mechanics

    by Gerd Gudehus ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Soil is matter in its own right. Its nature can be captured by means of monotonous, cyclic and strange attractors. Thus material properties are defined by the asymptotic response of sand- and clay-like samples to imposed deformations and stresses. This serves to validate and calibrate elastoplastic and hypoplastic relations with comparative plots. Extensions capture thermal and seismic activations ... Read more

  • Synchronization and Triggering: from Fracture to Earthquake Processes

    Laboratory, Field Analysis and Theories

    Edited by Valerio de Rubeis, Zbigniew Czechowski, Roman Teisseyre ...
    Series series GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences
    Processes of synchronization and interaction play a very special role in different physical problems concerning the dynamics of the Earth’s interior; they are of particular importance in the study of seismic phenomena, and their complexity is strongly affected by the variety of geological structures and inhomogeneities of the medium that hamper the course of these processes and their intensity. ...

  • The Earth's Inner Core

    Revealed by Observational Seismology

    by Hrvoje Tkalčić ...
    The inner core is a planet within a planet: a hot sphere with a mass of one hundred quintillion tons of iron and nickel that lies more than 5000 kilometres beneath our feet. It plays a crucial role in driving outer core fluid motion and the geodynamo, which generates the Earth's magnetic field. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive review of past and contemporary research on the Earth ... Read more
